@JCMJLGR@juanignacio_ac This is a bad faith criticism. She's consciously not speaking in Russian on a public stage in protest, what she does to pragmatically communicate in private is not directly relevant. It is an unorthodox protest, I'll give you that.
@teamjohntee@YahooSports@FOS She's got a bunch more easy money coming because this performance got her into the draw of all the top WTA tournaments. That's guaranteed money even if she loses in the first round every time.
@JCMJLGR@juanignacio_ac How is that hypocritical? She's literally doing what she said she was going to do. She never said she was going to stop using her native language in private.
@tobypinder@MikeIsaac It's still the perfect IPO to get a hype pump in the first few days. Look at how long Tesla has sustained an absurd valuation. It could literally drop 50% tomorrow with no change in the company or macroeconomic situation, and it would feel closer to normal than it is now.
@tobypinder@MikeIsaac Because Elon has a literal cult that can give it enough momentum to rise for a few days. We've seen much less popular IPOs get mindless momentum. If they can, I assume some will (perhaps they have stricter lockups?). +EV doesn't mean guaranteed win either.
@therealgona@MikeIsaac I think it probably gets an initial spike for at least a few days and then comes down to earth a little (but "earth" is still way overvalued). It's hard to picture this as one of those IPOs that drops like a rock after noon on the first trading day.
@Tuff__Crowd She legit probably will deserve it by efficiency if you watch the games, but it tends to just go to highest PRA. Aja's is like clockwork because she gets so many boards, and CC has the greenlight to chuck shots for 30 minutes a game. They are setup better to get it.
@SacharinWith2Cs@EctoLorean It's probably a little of both. He didn't make insane money, but he also wasn't that good at managing it. The broker you are, the more careful you need to be.
@tennisalt@StanSportAU It's weird, I think Diane would be closer in betting odds, but I also think that Maja is more of a threat. Mirra has beaten Diane multiple times and is just a better version of her. Maja is a curveball and will be frustrating to play if Mirra comes out cold.
@fanatical14x@realmaddox if you were russian, why would you care? you're russian. you can't say bad things about putin, but you can seed disney movie torrents with impunity.
@TheDunkCentral@ByTimReynolds Not true. I own Capital One Arena, he is welcome to come to any game. In fact, I can arrange a meeting for him to play air hockey with Gilbert Arenas.
@realdevdp_@MabongaTapiwa Mirra feels like the favorite in my head because she's been flirting with breaking into the top 3 for a long time, and Kostyuk's dominance is all just from this year. But with 2 Mirra victories for Kostyuk this year, I'm sure Mirra feels the same way as the betting odds.
@seventhswann I think she looks her age. The bandana she plays with is what makes her look older. Makes her look like a 45 year old going through chemotherapy.
